Title: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: tamerhello on December 23, 2018, 09:58:48 AM Hi everybody
I have an accound in Blockchain.com and I bought more than 0.71 bitcoin and sent it to them but Blockchain did not Protect my account and the hacker login my account and stole my funds but google website protected my account from the hacker and also yahoo website blockchain is very bad because they did not protect my account can anyone help me? Tamercome Dec 13, 06:06 EST i did not send anything but i found Sent From 1DaYsP2oeDGgbQGaRX9PiXowzsLPu8uQjT To 1FBWCQQ5BBzJRU6YfaQ1MJJA5rbtoujUuA Value When Sent $2,480.42 please help me Paula (Blockchain) Dec 13, 10:13 EST Hello, I'm very sorry to hear about this. You may have some type of malware on your computer that resulted in your funds being stolen because your private information was somehow obtained. One of the most common types of these are browser extensions posing as bitcoin price tickers that are actually stealing your account information. There's also the possibility that you visited a phishing site posing as Blockchain. We've also heard of computer viruses that detect when an address is in your clipboard, and replace the one you wanted to use with an address controlled by this malicious party. By design, Blockchain never has access to users' accounts or funds. If you keep your password and private key backups secure, then your funds are always safe with us. Since this information has been compromised, be sure to never use this wallet or any addresses contained within it. I'd also highly advise against using the same password again. I'm truly sorry that you had funds stolen from you. That certainly is an extremely frustrating experience.

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Lucius on December 23, 2018, 02:09:10 PM Unfortunately transaction is irreversible, there is nothing blockchain.com can do to get back your funds. In their answer, they explained the possible causes that led to your account being hacked. Using online services for storing cryptocurrency is considered as one of the least secure ways which are currently available to users.
When you say that Google and Yahoo protect your account, is that means that you have enabled 2FA (Two Factor Authentication)? You are probably victim of phishing or maybe keylogger, scan your PC with antivirus/antimalware and check your browsing history for site similar to blockchain.com. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: bitbunnny on December 23, 2018, 02:35:50 PM I'm sorry this happened to you but you have to know that web wallets are the least secure wallets of all. They have some protection mechanisms but they are not very reliable and still are very vulnerable. Try not to keep any funds there, better use mobile or hard wallets or even better the combination of multiple wallets.
Unfortunately you can't get back the funds you lost but this is the experience for the future that you have to protect your funds. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: zenrol28 on December 23, 2018, 04:21:32 PM You bought a significant amount of bitcoin and entrusted it to a custodial entity like blockchian.com? Not a great idea mate. If only you had sent it to your own personal wallet where you own the private keys, losing your funds will not happen. No one can help you with that but yourself. Bitcoin was made for us to make a peer to peer transactions online without any help from third party intermediaries. So please use it wisely and do not trust anyone to handle your funds. Hope that'll be a very good experience to you, it may hurt a bit, but it's a valuable lesson. You should remember it.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: bit-freedom on December 23, 2018, 04:34:40 PM I am sorry for your losses, but the transaction cannot be reversed. Please check your computer for virus or malware, and did you enter your account details in some phishing website?
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Xardasim on December 23, 2018, 04:54:58 PM Hacker stole my funds from blockchain I think you should not blame Blockchain.com. They can not provide security as offline wallets. It is possible to use 2FA as far as I know and this is huge mistake you made. Anyway this is a sign of being more careful in the future. You should consider this as a gain not as a loss. Loss could have been bigger. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Onuohakk on December 23, 2018, 05:38:08 PM Probably you just made this story all up to receive some attention or possibly charity as a result of sympathy well that is left to be said.
Let's say you actually lost your funds through hackers I don't see how the blockchain technology is to be blamed for that the Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Febo on December 23, 2018, 05:59:32 PM You should get a hardware wallet if you are unable to keep your computer malware free. Ledger or Trezor are best options.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: GreatBug on December 23, 2018, 06:32:47 PM This is not the first such situation with blockchain.com, I have heard about so many such hacks. If it is not an "inside job", it means that it is the worst secure Bitcoin online wallet in the entire internet. Stay away from Blockchain.com!!
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: pixie85 on December 23, 2018, 06:33:42 PM Quote but Blockchain did not Protect my account and the hacker login my account and stole my funds but google website protected my account from the hacker and also yahoo website Maybe you did like that famous guy who stored all his passwords online and somebody just bruteforced his old email account and stole everything. https://www.newsbtc.com/2018/04/16/well-known-ico-investor-ian-ballina-hacked-millions-worth-cryptocurrency-lost/ Don't be stupid and vulnerable, keep passwords and keys offline. If you don't have money for a hardware wallet, use an old pc or a laptop with no Internet access. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: logfiles on December 23, 2018, 06:41:55 PM Am very sure it a malicious browser extension that exposed all your details. This has been very common lately. there is an extension/addon doing rounds and stealing info of unsuspecting.
Also if you had secured ur wallet with 2FA, your funds would at least be safe even after the attempted breach. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: beaubenraw on December 23, 2018, 07:00:24 PM This is the con of Bitcoin, once a transaction goes through there is no coming back. At least with a credit card case you could call you bank, but you can't call Satoshi.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: WebTera on December 23, 2018, 07:33:32 PM If you read the history of this forum, you can find many similar examples where carelessness led to the loss of their funds, bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies. Hackers only take advantage of the moment, but if you do not neglect the security rules, this situation will not happen.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: kvipcn on December 23, 2018, 08:17:02 PM It is quiet sad you had to experience this tragedy. I believe you might have login into a fishing site which made the hacker to obtain your login details to steal your Bitcoin. People should be very careful when login into their account.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Loubap on December 23, 2018, 09:01:28 PM DId you have 2fa installed?
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: muslol67 on December 23, 2018, 09:10:22 PM Unfortunately this is a very sad situation. And I guess there's nothing to do from this point. I wish you would have studied the security tools to protect you in more detail.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: FedorIzmailov on December 23, 2018, 09:53:16 PM you cannot do anything about it and it remains only to come to terms with it and accept it. I think that this experience for 2k dollars will be useful to you in the future
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: pixie85 on December 23, 2018, 09:58:11 PM No 2fa and a hacked email, we got the root of the problem. The only thing you can do now is to find out how the trojan got installed on your machine. Were you downloading from unknown sources, downloaded torrents, hacked software like games with cracks, porn sites? You got hacked once but this is not the end. If you don't improve security you will become a target again.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: abojamal on December 23, 2018, 09:58:29 PM A harsh experience and I hope do not repeat it again
The only useful thing in this experience expensive You have to be more careful in keeping your finances Many mechanisms suggested by the guys here and do not forget TREZOR and Ledger As long as you have money of this value. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Cryptoreflector_666 on December 23, 2018, 10:20:53 PM I'm sorry for your friend, but no one is safe from such actions. Hackers are the people who push our world to develop and progress. They find weaknesses and show them, in order that the developers of different products thought about how to improve a particular product. These are really good people.

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Bonsaiav on December 23, 2018, 10:58:53 PM I do not know, how long this kind of problem will continue to occur, so this troubles BTC users in particular and raises a lack of public trust in the existence of BTC.
For those who have never experienced the case above, maybe the following steps are useful to keep your BTC safely. We must always make sure that the address of the site you are visiting is correct and that it is not a phishing site. Use two-factor authentication (A2F) throughout the Crypto wallet or your e-mail address, or you can also use the password manager program. Hopefully this can help you, so that you avoid unwanted negative impacts. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Coinifyx on December 23, 2018, 11:02:40 PM I don't believe you for the simple fact that 2fa is a default option, I ALWAYS have to confirm my login through email when doing it from another ip, if you disabled 2fa and got infected you probably deserve this tbh because you knew bitcoin is not like paypal and you can't chargeback

Hopefully this can help you, so that you avoid unwanted negative impacts. First of all, it's everywhere on this forum and I do not know how many thousands of times, more experienced users are warning Newbies not to use wallets online. Sometimes I wonder if it is an epidemic that people do not want to listen and do the exact opposite? Install the desktop wallet, secure it with a long strong password and you're safe. Then you only need to check whether you send the correct amounts to the correct addresses. That's all.

In their answer, they explained the possible causes that led to your account being hacked. Using online services for storing cryptocurrency is considered as one of the least secure ways which are currently available to users. burglars always look for weaknesses on all fronts, maybe we should have a teacher who gives direction that can make us anticipate theft of our data, without the teacher indeed we often just follow the directions from Goglee, and this is very vulnerable to anything that smells of fraud. or we can coordinate with cyber teams from law enforcement who might be able to detect potential cyber crimes.When you say that Google and Yahoo protect your account, is that means that you have enabled 2FA (Two Factor Authentication)? You are probably victim of phishing or maybe keylogger, scan your PC with antivirus/antimalware and check your browsing history for site similar to blockchain.com. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Futureglory on December 24, 2018, 12:58:18 AM too bad for you buddy in the real season. It rather unfortunate nothing can be done when transaction is initiated. I hope you become more vigilant when choosing wallets to save your earnings.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Lizzylove1 on December 24, 2018, 01:10:16 AM Sorry about this sad incidence. It's irreversible and there is nothing anyone can do about this except the hacker changes his mind and sent it back, this will require a divine intervention through prayers. Now, as a way of caution, try to avoid downloading untrusted publications or avoid phishing links, which usually come from freebies like airdrops and other form of deceptive incentives. Avoid using same password of your private wallet in any other site, make the pass strong as possible, don't store your private keys online and install a 2FA. Never use this wallet again, it's compromised already, I will advised you use a mobile app and use a different email now, clear off your browser too.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: bayu7adi on December 24, 2018, 02:24:38 AM when the money has been sent to another wallet, the transaction cannot be canceled or cannot be protested, because it has already happened
that means, sorry your money can't be returned unless you know who the owner of the destination wallet is and know about the profile clearly email from the blockchain is also quite helpful, where you have to check your computer's health first, whether there is spyware embedded in your computer or not, because now there are many hacking cases through viruses that are spread through illegally cracked applications or maybe free applications that are distributed insane and don't expect too much from others, because it's your money, not their money it means doing a super tight security layer so that your funds are truly safe Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: cpoer2011 on December 24, 2018, 01:40:48 PM Unfortunately and I am sorry for you and you should protect your wallet with 2FA (Two Factor Authentication) like Google Authenticator (GA) or Authy from Google Playstore. The other one is bookmark your web link of the wallet so you won't get phising from the hacker.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: treatWy on December 24, 2018, 01:58:03 PM I think there should have a project that will developed solution to this valid unfortunate matters. Somehow it is suspicion that the people behind the seen is the same team members. Don't get me wrong about this, it is just a humble opinion.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Irdina on December 24, 2018, 01:59:50 PM why did you get conceded, did you not keep the keys properly?
my friend also has the same problem as you, with your blockchain account being broken, the balance is gone and there is no way out, the balance cannot be returned Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: fosco333 on December 25, 2018, 03:11:53 PM Im very sorry for your loss, but when we dealing in cryptocurrency, we should take extra caution when we using our wallet.
There are many phishing attempts created by hackers to steal our coins. Please use more secure wallet than just an online web wallet like blockchain.com Using hard wallet is a good thing to secure your wallet. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Xiroartoni on December 26, 2018, 11:29:16 PM Hi everybody Most likely you are caught by a virus that you received in the mail, or in another way. Don't trust your computer with various suspicious programs. Sometimes you can run into the brainchild of hackers who track your transactions or any other actions with cryptocurrency. For such things is to have a separate computer, which is used only for cryptocurrency. This will protect your capital from prying eyes.I have an accound in Blockchain.com and I bought more than 0.71 bitcoin and sent it to them but Blockchain did not Protect my account and the hacker login my account and stole my funds but google website protected my account from the hacker and also yahoo website blockchain is very bad because they did not protect my account can anyone help me?

Many people claim that their crypto has been stolen by hackers, but this may not be the real reason. I think the real reason is that the private key is not properly kept. In most cases, a greedy hacker won’t stare at the retailer’s wallet because they think it’s worthless. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: audaciousbeing on December 27, 2018, 08:31:11 AM One thing that is sure is that no matter how you can prove it, blockchain would surely absolve themselves from it because admitting means they ending their business. This is not the first time that people have complained about issues from blockchain and their response has only been in one direction with examples of ways you can get compromised which would be hard for any active computer users to get away from. They would then change the narrative unfortunately instead of people to condemn or apportion some blame to them, we also make excuses for them.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: VitKoyn on December 27, 2018, 08:52:08 AM Hi everybody I really hate seeing people losing their Bitcoin because of using those online wallets but as an investor, you can't just trust any online/web wallets or services to hold your Bitcoin because they are more prone from hacking. And unfortunately, there is no chance of recovering those Bitcoin, even blockchain.info can not help you recover it as they probably don't have no control on the wallet/address where your coins are sent. The problem might also be on your side, because there is also a chance that someone have your password on your blockchain wallet. What you can only do is move on, learn from it and never do the same mistakes again.I have an accound in Blockchain.com and I bought more than 0.71 bitcoin and sent it to them but Blockchain did not Protect my account and the hacker login my account and stole my funds but google website protected my account from the hacker and also yahoo website blockchain is very bad because they did not protect my account can anyone help me? Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Peashooter on December 27, 2018, 10:51:34 AM It's hard to get all your funds from hackers and the problem you do not know who is the hacker so you need to accept the truth that you already lose your money or bitcoin. So, because we need to become careful and do not click any suspicious link. You should also use hardware wallet which is more safety and secure.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: jointherevolution on December 27, 2018, 07:01:58 PM This is the con of Bitcoin, once a transaction goes through there is no coming back. At least with a credit card case you could call you bank, but you can't call Satoshi. This is wrong, even Satoshi cannot get you your Bitcoin back because Satoshi does not have your Bitcoin. This is a foolish statement to make and to call Bitcoin a con? This guy left serious amount worth of much money where he should not have. It was not well protected so someone steals it. If you leave cash inside one bank without protecting it will you blame the bank when someone takes it? Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: FastSlots on December 27, 2018, 08:48:14 PM I feel sorry that you lost a high amount of Bitcoin i can't help you here to get back your funds! And blockchain web wallets are not to blame here, mate! I have been using blockchain and coinbase wallet almost from the brginng of my crypto life and i had no problem with them! Try to not use any kind of crypto extensions except metamask, don't click any kind of unknown link from email or anywhere and try to reinstall your windows/mobile (whatever you use)! I would suggest you use Coinbase or Ledger hardware wallet from now and make sure to enable all of their security options! Good Luck!

You must used the secured Wallet because it has a feature that will secured your coins. Do not used some wallets that lack of security, As said above you.can not get back all of your funds once the wallet you use was hacked and you csn not do anything but to cry. So you must better change your wallet of you think its not safe to store it their.

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: ratatat bangbang on December 27, 2018, 09:35:12 PM So sad to hear that, but I guess it is a matter of noving on. What you experienced for now will serve as a lesson learned. Next time you will find or have a wallet that is safe.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Moshaid on December 27, 2018, 09:45:11 PM Sorry about your loss but you also have a part that you took part in your stolen funds.. Among them is opening your browsers to malware virus which doesn't guarantee how safe your wallet is.. Hopefully next time you be careful of the sites you visit. Also this should serve as an eye opener for other people. Sorry about your loss once again.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: FedorIzmailov on December 27, 2018, 10:34:20 PM it happens so often and so you need to be extremely vigilant because you can lose your money forever
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: gabbie2010 on December 27, 2018, 10:45:51 PM Its quite obvious your system had been compromised somewhere and quite unfortunate losing such a huge amount of money to hackers, this could have been avoided if 2fa had been activated in both blockchain and email accounts especially when you are using gmail, you just have to utilized every possible means of securing your wallet when using the so-called online websites due to their vulnerability to hackers unlike hardware wallet.

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: elwiswoodie on December 28, 2018, 03:03:44 PM all security returns to you are not included in that company, if you consider your money important it is important to make sure your wallet is truly safe, the small thing is to find information out there to secure your bitcoin wallet Hackers are far smarter in carrying out their actions. even though several times the wallet was given double security they could still break into the wallet, my advice must be the arrest of thieves and be punished so that they do not commit theft again.Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: sehoon on December 28, 2018, 03:06:58 PM I think you should use a computer that is only dedicated to using cryptocurrency. And a Ledger wallet will also help you protect your funds. There are a lot of malware that you can accidentally click on the internet and may infect your computer. That is why it would be better if you use a separate computer.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Genosx on December 29, 2018, 01:58:39 PM Ouch! That is a very hard time moment as a investors becausd many people will try to steal all your money for their own benefit.
I think we should be careful next time in order to avoid this such thing may happen again. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Dondont on December 29, 2018, 10:44:26 PM Too bad, maybe you have accessed a phishing website that caused data data needed to access the blockchain website to be exposed. There is no better reason for me, because blockhain has to be with a wallet ID and password so I don't think it's just a mistake that just "copy & paste". You better forget about the wallet and create a new wallet, don't forget to install Google Auth
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: crzy on December 29, 2018, 10:48:02 PM Its sad because you cannot take it back once the transaction is confirmed. Too many hacking incidents in this market, and we should learn from the experience of others and protect our own wallet and secure it 100%. Hopefully, investors are more aware about the strategies of the hackers and don’t let them eat your funds easily.

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Janation on December 30, 2018, 09:41:25 AM This is really hard. I'm sorry someone stole your funds. :( Karma will never let them win anyway. You don't need to be sorry, this is the OPs fault and not yours. This is the reason you should not trust these chrome or any browsers extensions. If you want to donwload anything from the internet, be sure that it is trusted and being used by a lot of people. If you don't trust any comments about it, you can ask people or maybe make a thread in the forum or on the Reddit as a lot of people can be asked there and will give you good answers. If you don't trust internet answers, you can make a question or recommendations to your friends, that is easier but sometimes not that effective. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Fesatmas on December 30, 2018, 09:51:11 AM It is unfortunate that the money was lost to someone else.

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: khalidxpert on December 30, 2018, 10:51:29 AM Very sorry to hear that. Unfortunately there is no way you can reverse btc sent. Your money is lost sadly. I recommend format your all hard disk and install a fresh window then after installing any antivirus diwnload the wallet. And yes tge first thing you do add 2fa authentication. You are good to go
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: tranquangvinh on December 30, 2018, 11:14:40 AM I'm sorry for that, I think you need to check your computer again! Because blockchain is a huge website and company, many people are using and storing their bitcoin there, if the blockchain is not secure, there will be many other accounts that will be lost bitcoin! I think it's also a very good lesson for you because if you later buy large amounts of bitcoins and your computer is infected with malware, that would be a huge loss.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Kang Bahar on December 30, 2018, 11:39:14 AM Blockchain did not Protect my account and the hacker login my account and stole my funds. When you forget your wallet ID/password/seed, you will have difficulty in recovering your own wallet, and this will also make it difficult for hackers to steal your money (through recovery options). This proves, that blockchain.com is trying to keep our account safe. And I'm sure, blockchain won't steal money from all users.One important thing: I think you should not blame Blockchain.com Maybe unconsciously, your device has been infiltrated by a malware or something. Nah, you (OP) also have to be aware of your own mistakes regarding the responsibilities of your device.can anyone help me? Unfortunately, nobody can help you, and there is nothing we can do in this incident.Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: kucritt on December 30, 2018, 12:12:38 PM the transaction only have one ways, it means if your account already sent to another account, it can't be transfer back to your account, but if you can makes the hacker to makes a negotiable, maybe it can possible to makes the manual transfer

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: wizardcrypto on January 13, 2019, 05:10:06 PM Is so unfortunate for this great loss worth thousands of dollars especially when looking at that amount when bitcoin was 20k. As explain above is definitely the root cause of the hack. The rate of cybercrime is increasing daily in the space . There are so many emails you receive you open and the their are link on this mails you also open that may result virus that scan and install on your PC. And also their are site you you might have visit that you accept their cookies which gain access to your email. 2fa is still the best way to secure your web wallet from been attack. Right now there is nothing that can be done but you can learn to prevent futher attack reoccurring.

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: - ESPERS - on January 13, 2019, 06:57:24 PM It's not the fault of blockchain.com for your problem. When you register, and especially when you invest, it is your job to protect your account. You must have a private key secure so that no one has access to it. Also, when you make significant investments, as was the one in the sad event you spent, it's good to use a hardware wallet like Ledger Nano. They are the safest wallets and no one can compromise your investment.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: levvv on January 15, 2019, 08:50:06 AM I feel sorry for you, maybe next time you can using other wallet. Use the wallet that not requiring to submit key or password.
You probably has been phished by some scam website or email or links. You can try to using mobile wallet, just using your smartphone and you can send or receive btc. You can go here : https://bitcoin.org/en/wallets/web/ and choose one mobile wallet. Hope it helps you.

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: hxtop on January 15, 2019, 08:15:39 PM Hackers are always are in search to find new ways.

By sharing this kind of informative experiences which are also very sad to hear, you help others who might be next victim.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: nizamcc on January 16, 2019, 06:32:33 PM I'm sorry, mister.
But the blockchain.com will not be able to help you get your money back. Check your PC. I am sure it has malware. Remove all. Check browser extensions. Check your browser history. Perhaps you went to sites similar to blockchain.com. Be extremely vigilant always.

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Korkorjkk on January 18, 2019, 08:00:26 PM Am sorry for your loss but it is never safe to buy on blockchain, it will be better you purchase tokens on exchanges rather, because it is safer.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Nasonn on January 18, 2019, 09:39:39 PM So sorry to hear this, it could have been prevented that's why I advocate 2FA for any exchange you have funds in. It does take a lot to hack your account, your email and your 2fa app.

I feel sorry for you but if you will check your statement you are protected. 2FA is very important on any account especially in cryptocurrency.

Cool. Good for you that you already activate your 2fa because if not maybe you lost all your balance. Well for me im not a fan of 2fa's and believe it or not , i dont ever try it on all of my wallets and online accounts . i dont ever experience to get hack so far because i know what im doing or dealing with . Blockchain on the other hand is also a good wallet with concrete security but i dont get it why would someone got hacked or lost their accounts . maybe they are dumb enough to give their password and other important details online .

The hackers are always looking for new ways to hack our coins and wallet. These days there are so may virus which may stole private key from your system (As it happen in the case of OP).

I agree that 2fa using in everywhere is also risky as some sites 2fa also gives problem. It is much better to take full care of security then you wont need 2fa. Dont use your wallets in the systems which you use daily so that even if you get hacked your wallet are safe as it is stored in offline system. This is the best way of keeping secure your important materials and wallets. The main reason behind OP or any user getting hacked due to using same password in all places so hackers identifies and uses it and hacks it. So it is important to use only useless password in other dummy sites and use good password for important places and dont use same password in all places go for different password for each accounts which will save you if anyone account gets hacked other will be safe.

Day by day hacker uses a different way to collect your data or private histories like as fake mail or phishing site or an adult pic or using fake antivirus that we download from the internet without purchase. There has no strong security on the online platform so anytime we lost our asset like as i was lost my everything when etherdelta hack and never refund.So try to use 2fa and never stored any large amount only one wallet.I have an accound in Blockchain.com and I bought more than 0.71 bitcoin and sent it to them but Blockchain did not Protect my account and the hacker login my account and stole my funds but google website protected my account from the hacker and also yahoo website blockchain is very bad because they did not protect my account can anyone help me?

You may have some type of malware on your computer that resulted in your funds being stolen because your private information was somehow obtained. One of the most common types of these are browser extensions posing as bitcoin price tickers that are actually stealing your account information. There's also the possibility that you visited a phishing site posing as Blockchain. We've also heard of computer viruses that detect when an address is in your clipboard, and replace the one you wanted to use with an address controlled by this malicious party. By design, Blockchain never has access to users' accounts or funds. If you keep your password and private key backups secure, then your funds are always safe with us. Since this information has been compromised, be sure to never use this wallet or any addresses contained within it. I'd also highly advise against using the same password again. I'm truly sorry that you had funds stolen from you. That certainly is an extremely frustrating experience.

Install another Windows 2. Install / upgrade your best antivirus 3. clear the chance for your browser, or reinstall (the browser can be the source of the problem) 4. Scan all data on the PC with an antivirus. 5. Create a new email, or update all your data. 6. use another ip to log in to the internet.

Basic knowledge on how to safekeep you private keys to your funds & assets is a prerequisite here in entering crypto i guess.

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: reality18 on January 22, 2019, 10:59:14 AM Hi everybody I have a friend who shares similar fate as you. Hackers are always on the move to retrieve or generate the private keys of wallets and if your wallet is not protected with strong security such as 2FA and PIN, it is always vulnerable. Consider using hard ware wallets like the Ledger Nano S which has recorded good security over the past few years.

I think Blockchain.com is not guilty of having stolen your funds. They don't have access to your account and don't store your private keys. They listed possible reasons why this happened to you.
Unfortunately, all you can really do is secure yourself in the future. Some tips: - Never open emails and attachments from unknown senders. Suspicious of any letters with attachments and links. Even if they came from a familiar address, it doesn't guarantee security: it could be hacked. - Never enter your wallet details on other sites. - Be sure to check URLs for minor spelling errors. - Use only secure https connections. The absence of just one letter “s” in the address of the site must alert. - Don't use open Wi-Fi networks to access your wallet or exchange. - Wherever possible, install two-factor authentication. - Install the Cryptonite by MetaCert extension!!! - Update software. Any good antivirus will automatically detect suspicious activity. Regularly update your browser, operating system, email client and antivirus package.

Once it happend to me also when I copy the address to whom i want to send coins and pate it to blockchain it pasts the hacker's wallet address. Always match first and last 3 characters of the wallet address Now you can format your hard disk and install a fresh window to avoid in future Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Pagoda.to on January 30, 2019, 03:00:07 PM Stories like these really make me feel bad, no one deserves to get their coins stolen as anyone is vulnerable to an attack. Many hackers out there are trying to find out ways to get you to click a link or install something so they can gain access to your computer. There is no way to stop this unless you have a separate computer that doesn't have anything sensitive on it and work with that, it's easier said than done but try to see if you can do that.

It seems many users of cryptocurrencies still do not understand how they work, if this had happened to the OP with fiat then he could get his money back since banks could reverse the transaction but that is not possible with crypto, so it is important to take our online security seriously from the beginning, if you cannot afford to buy an operating system because the license is too expensive then learn how to use Linux which is free and way safer and avoid using online wallets and only use desktop, paper and hardware wallets.Many were being hack also but they can manage to stay strong and still in crypto world. Just be like them and next time you'll be more careful with your account. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: coinnumber on February 03, 2019, 10:05:40 PM Hi everybody So sorry you loss you funds, its unfortunate blockchain transactions are in in reversible and I think its your fault you might have disclosed your password or login through a wrong site Blockchain is the best when it comes to security but you need to secure you data to avoid losing your funds in the nearest future.I have an accound in Blockchain.com and I bought more than 0.71 bitcoin and sent it to them but Blockchain did not Protect my account and the hacker login my account and stole my funds but google website protected my account from the hacker and also yahoo website blockchain is very bad because they did not protect my account can anyone help me? Tamercome Dec 13, 06:06 EST i did not send anything but i found Sent From 1DaYsP2oeDGgbQGaRX9PiXowzsLPu8uQjT To 1FBWCQQ5BBzJRU6YfaQ1MJJA5rbtoujUuA Value When Sent $2,480.42 please help me Paula (Blockchain) Dec 13, 10:13 EST Hello, I'm very sorry to hear about this. You may have some type of malware on your computer that resulted in your funds being stolen because your private information was somehow obtained. One of the most common types of these are browser extensions posing as bitcoin price tickers that are actually stealing your account information. There's also the possibility that you visited a phishing site posing as Blockchain. We've also heard of computer viruses that detect when an address is in your clipboard, and replace the one you wanted to use with an address controlled by this malicious party. By design, Blockchain never has access to users' accounts or funds. If you keep your password and private key backups secure, then your funds are always safe with us. Since this information has been compromised, be sure to never use this wallet or any addresses contained within it. I'd also highly advise against using the same password again. I'm truly sorry that you had funds stolen from you. That certainly is an extremely frustrating experience.

Always match first and last 3 characters of the wallet address i believe your device was infected by a malware . dont you have an antivirus installed ? or maybe you didnt update it to its latest database . ~ snipped - Good tips, I would add...wait for it... NEVER FUCKING USE ONLINE WALLETS!!!!! lol . the whole time ive been always using an online wallet but guess what ? i dont ever got hacked . its up to you on how you handle your wallet . hardware wallets are only for serious hodler and invester but for small time users we are fine of using an online wallet . thanks for your wonderful advice btw . Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Akagum on February 11, 2019, 08:57:57 AM So sorry about that, it might be that you mistakenly misplaced your login details and it enters into the wrong hand or that you click on those pshing links.
Unfortunately, I do not think there is a way the transaction could be reversed. The only thing is this: the wallet address to which your funds was sent could be known but there's no way of tracking the culprit using only the wallet address. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: xenxen on February 11, 2019, 11:07:11 AM sorry to here that its a big amount have lost. maybe put this happen to your experience. blockchain cant recover your lost and the fund is already transferd... maybe your security in blockchain wallet was to low so that hacker can access you easyly..
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: romero121 on February 11, 2019, 11:21:04 AM From the support team a clear description for the hack has been provided to Op. The wallet service provider cannot take responsibility, it is the mistake made thyself. As each and every activity takes place through internet connectivity, it is good to make transactions through secured platforms.

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: pawanjain on February 11, 2019, 03:10:45 PM This is not the first such situation with blockchain.com, I have heard about so many such hacks. If it is not an "inside job", it means that it is the worst secure Bitcoin online wallet in the entire internet. Stay away from Blockchain.com!! Well it might be an inside job as well but I don't think it would be so. I have seen many people on social media who guarantee that their investment would return more than normal gains.I have encountered such scam myself but I knew that something is fishy so I would ignore. I also noticed that the scammer told the victims to deposit the amount in the wallet at blockchain.com The people used to deposit the amount to their accounts at blockchain.com and voosh the amount would get transferred to some addresses. I guess the OP is a victim of one such scam. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: 4rzun4 on February 11, 2019, 03:46:51 PM We must always be vigilant and can store passwords from the Bitcoin account that we have well, to avoid theft. There are too many ways that hackers can take the Bitcoin that we have, both through pishing and so on. What happens, it's better as an experience, then in the future we must always be vigilant and we must review the blockchain and how to secure the Bitcoin that we have, in order to avoid theft.

It was indeed a story because OP seems to be newbie and for his coin to stole will make him view crypto currency as a bad investment. But, the OP was the one responsible for the misfortune because blockchain can not be hack if the owner avoid some error which could expose the wallet information.Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: GrayFullbuster on February 12, 2019, 02:29:36 AM Bitcoin online wallets are really vulnerable to hackers, there are only few bitcoin online wallets that have high security. Blockchain wallet have also high security, I think the reason why there is someone stole your bitcoins is because you access in a phishing site or you have malware to your computer.

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: wiik on February 26, 2019, 05:38:42 AM This is very unfortunate. This is one of the downside of crypto , getting back your money is nest to impossible. Unlike for banks/fiat there is quite a bigger chance to get it back and trace who stole your money. This is why 2FA and other security addons are present in most site, hackers/scammera are also evolving together with the technology , so we should be very careful.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: pushups44 on February 26, 2019, 05:44:13 AM Like others have said, web based wallets are not trustworthy for a number of reasons, and weak passwords can be cracked. When you use a web wallet you are relying on a trusted third party, whereas bitcoin is supposed to be about trust minimization.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: kumar jabodah on February 26, 2019, 09:34:46 AM The blockchain.com wallet is not responsible in case your funds are lost in your wallet.
Because they do not hold your wallet password and they have no access to our accounts. So we can not blame the blockchain if we lose our funds. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: pat4cryptoreal on February 26, 2019, 09:43:56 AM Blockchain.info was some how better, since the website was upgraded to blockchain.com so many people are having the problem.

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: imstillthebest on February 26, 2019, 10:11:00 AM Blockchain.info was some how better, since the website was upgraded to blockchain.com so many people are having the problem. My friends have the same experience. I am scared of depositing any fund there. blockchain.com is more upgraded because its a nice site and has a new domain extension ( .dotcom ) , they also support a new coin called xlm ( strllar lumens ) . so far i did not experience an issue regarding on their site . The blockchain.com wallet is not responsible in case your funds are lost in your wallet. Because they do not hold your wallet password and they have no access to our accounts. So we can not blame the blockchain if we lose our funds. And why not ? If they dont hold our balance then who do you think holds it ? They are centralized , which means they overall controll the data and money of their users . all exchange / wallets do have a responsible for their users . they can be call a scam if they dont want to respond from their costumers query . Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: AjithBtc on February 26, 2019, 10:12:16 AM Blockchain.info was some how better, since the website was upgraded to blockchain.com so many people are having the problem.

To avoid such confusions and getting under the traps of hackers it is good to bookmark the respective page which will let the user reach the right landing page whenever he use the blockchain. I've been following the same process and haven't got under any such technical hacks.Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: ozeraykut on February 26, 2019, 10:18:18 AM I am sorry for you but did you apply all security protection features?

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: btc78 on February 26, 2019, 10:53:36 AM Hacker stole my funds from blockchain I think you should not blame Blockchain.com. They can not provide security as offline wallets. It is possible to use 2FA as far as I know and this is huge mistake you made. Anyway this is a sign of being more careful in the future. You should consider this as a gain not as a loss. Loss could have been bigger. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: malikusama on February 26, 2019, 02:20:36 PM but Blockchain did not Protect my account and the hacker login my account and stole my funds but google website protected my account from the hacker and also yahoo website blockchain is very bad because they did not protect my account can anyone help me? No one can protect your account unless you take additional measures to protect your own account. It's not about yahoo, google or any other site, it's just you who is responsible. I think it's not appropriate to blame blockchain.com for your own negligence. Paula (Blockchain) Dec 13, 10:13 EST Hello, I'm very sorry to hear about this.

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: X7 on February 27, 2019, 01:54:58 AM This is the con of Bitcoin, once a transaction goes through there is no coming back. At least with a credit card case you could call you bank, but you can't call Satoshi. This is what makes the transaction immutable, it is not a con - it's a feature. If you could reverse a transaction then it would not be decentralized, it would be a glorified PayPal. The onus is on the user to have the personal responsibility to assure: 1. They are secure 2. They send the right amount of funds to the right address Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: apilpirman.bisnis on February 27, 2019, 02:17:05 AM Forget about how much you lost your money at your blockchain account, next time always use google authicator for all of your exchange account, many people could hack your gmail account and more easy to take back your exchange account, better use google authicator.

Bitcoin wallet is all about your security settings. For a hacker to have access to your account, it means your security setting is as weak as the bone of an ant.

Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Coin-Desk on February 27, 2019, 07:50:44 AM My Bitcoin was also hacked by hackers, and it is from Blockchain. I did not know that if there is a private key then any blockchain account can be accessed. So some hackers took my private key from my blockchain account. They asked me to open accounts on different websites to take my own private key. I'm just new in this line. So I started to open accounts on different websites without thinking about it. As a result, I lost my blockchain account. From then on, I would never ever share my private key with anyone. My mistake caused $ 50 because of that mistake. Hackers had hacked my blockchain account.

Blockchain is safe and easy wallet to use but if you lost your money it is your mistake because before investing in your wallet you will have to keep your private key away from others as if you will share anyone can take away, but your suggestion is really good we should use google safety while putting our bitcoin in blockchain so when somebody will use our bitcoin we will get notification.Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Best Dreams on February 27, 2019, 09:34:13 PM This is very unfortunate. This is one of the downside of crypto , getting back your money is nest to impossible. Unlike for banks/fiat there is quite a bigger chance to get it back and trace who stole your money. This is why 2FA and other security addons are present in most site, hackers/scammera are also evolving together with the technology , so we should be very careful. I am agree with you it is not eats to take all your money back again so better not to be careless about your investment and make sure you wallet is really safe as blockchain is, as according to me blockchain has all the features to save your coin for long time without any risk, so those who don’t assure you about security of your don’t just replace them with blockchain.Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: maxreish on February 28, 2019, 12:42:25 AM It is very possible that you accidentally clicked a phishing site that may actually get some informations in blockchain.com. However, are you not aware of using some 2fa to prevent anyone use your private infos? If not, you have to download it to secure your accounts. Sad to say, you cannot get back your funds.

Online wallets are prone to hacks and phishing, sometimes we won't notice but like I said, it's better to have different address for online or better yet find a way to invest in hard wallet, it's more secure than online wallets.

All those things said here was disgusting for all holders if your security on your funds will be breach. This isn't acceptable if your asset will be put into danger of hackers. Better choose that recommended option using much safer wallet instead of using the online method. Private keys can be working safe, but always be careful from phising they might target you as their victim. Never expose your private keys online and don't install non trusted application on your pc or mobile phones. Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Danica22 on February 28, 2019, 03:36:31 AM I am so sad when hearing this kind of story "hacking", based on the OP stated he seems don't have any protection to his blockchain.com account. Better to enable your 2Fa authenticator, email verification and/or mobile verification if they have. These securities will protect your account from hacking.

Com account if your secret key is exposed to the hacker and your wallet private keys can be gotten by hacker without you knowing, there are phishing site that still your information when ever your visit them and there might have gotten you private keys from you.
Title: Re: Hacker stole my funds from blockchain Post by: Mawa1127 on March 28, 2019, 08:21:01 PM You have nothing to do. It occurred because of clicking on unknown email. One of my friends lost his fund like this way. Be careful from next time.
